Christ Church, WFB needs volunteers!
Christ Church, Whitefish Bay needs your help for an Interfaith Outreach project. Worldwide Hunger Relief, Inc., a local Waukesha area charity, is working together with local churches and the Islamic Society of Milwaukee to conduct a 4 day food pack to feed the hungry people of Pakistan whose homes and crops have been destroyed by the monsoon flooding this summer. All food packed will be shipped to Pakistan and distributed with the help of Zindagi Trust www.zindagitrust.org, one of the most respected charities in Pakistan.
We need volunteers from ages 5 to 105 to pack food ingredients for meals. This is a great way to get children involved in outreach and it's fun! Tasks include filling bags with ingredients, weighing, sealing, packing and stacking the boxes. Anyone who can sit or stand for a 90 minute shift is welcome and encouraged to come and help. We will have two packing shifts per evening, Monday through Thursday, November 1-4: one at 6:00-7:30pm and the second one 7:30-9:00pm.
